Quick & Easy Beef Liver with Onions Recipe

beef liver1

Beef liver with onions is a beloved classic dish known for its rich flavor and exceptional nutritional profile.

Often considered a superfood, beef liver is packed with essential nutrients such as iron, vitamin A, B12, and high-quality protein, making it a fantastic option for anyone seeking a health-conscious meal. The process of caramelizing onions enhances their natural sweetness, perfectly complementing the earthy taste of the liver.

This dish is quick to prepare and can easily fit into a busy weeknight schedule, yet its comforting, hearty flavor makes it suitable for a special occasion. Soaking the liver in milk helps reduce its strong taste and ensures a tender texture. When cooked just right, the liver is soft and flavorful, pairing wonderfully with mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a fresh salad for a balanced and satisfying meal.

Ingredients
  • 1 lb 450g) beef liver, thinly sliced
  • 2 large onions, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
  • 1 cup (250ml) milk (for soaking liver)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika (optional)
  • 1/4 cup (30g) all-purpose flour (for coating liver, optional)
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
  1. 1

    1. Prepare the Liver:

      • Rinse the liver slices under cold water and place them in a bowl.
      • Pour milk over the liver to cover completely. Let it soak for 20-30 minutes. This helps reduce any strong flavor.

    2. Prepare the Onions:

      • In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil or butter over medium heat until warm.
      • Add the sliced onions and sauté for 10-12 minutes until golden and caramelized. Remove onions and set aside.

    3. Cook the Liver:

      • Drain and pat the liver slices dry with paper towels.
      • If desired, dredge the liver slices in flour seasoned with salt, pepper, and paprika.
      • Add the remaining olive oil or butter to the skillet over medium heat.
      • Cook liver slices for 2-3 minutes per side until browned. Avoid overcooking to maintain tenderness.

    4. Combine and Serve:

      • Return the onions to the skillet, mixing them with the liver. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
      • Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve hot with mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread.
